Rotating and Sliding using Joints

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 13:50:55 GMT

I have been trying to make simple mechanism that converts rotational motion to linear motion. A motor would be attached to the circular disc that is attached to the base plate that acts as a stand. The motor rotates the disc and the protrusion when rotating moves a slider left to right. I want to make an animation and need guidance in doing the same.
Thank you

Here is a version of your model where motion is achieved using only Joints, no Contact Sets.
